Tower Hamlets Community Housing grading under review

Providers being investigated for an issue regarding their compliance with the Governance and Financial Viability Standard are added to the regulator's GUR list.

The Regulator of Social Housing reports that Tower Hamlets Community Housing has been placed on its gradings under review list today (20 December 2022).

The provider’s current published grades are V2 / G1. The regulator notifies that a provider’s grading is under review when its compliant grade (G1 and G2 for governance, V1 or V2 for viability) is being investigated in relation to an issue which may result in a downgrade to a non-compliant grade (G3 or G4 for governance, V3 or V4 for viability).

The regulator is currently investigating matters which may impact on Tower Hamlets Community Housing’s compliance with the Governance and Financial Viability Standard.

The regulator’s gradings under review list is available on its website.
